I was hoping this month would be extremely productive; instead, I’m struggling to get much work done at all. I’m still draggingly tired, even when catching up on sleep over the weekends. Forget about trying to get up at 4:00 a.m. Even 5:00 a.m. is proving quite challenging. In fact, most days it’s all I can do to get up and get ready for work.

I even went to bed at 9:30 p.m. last night! That’s huge. Did I make it D&E this morning? Nope. I’m blaming the bad weather we had two nights ago. That truly was a rough night for sleep with all three monsters up throughout the night.

So I’m having to get a little creative to squeeze in my writing. When events conspire against you and interfere with your goals, what do you to to turn the tide and get some of the magic back?
